@pymodel/dsh-tavily

Tavily for DeepSeek Harness: adds the Tavily Search API as a web search provider, plus a Tavily MCP bridge for extract / crawl / map tools.
Install
npm (stable, official recommendation):
dsh plugin --profile web add @pymodel/dsh-tavily
dsh web
Or follow GitHub (latest commit on the repo):
dsh plugin --profile web add github:pymodel/dsh-research-plugins
Settings → Plugins → Plugin settings → Tavily web search: turn the toggle on. The key is optional; leave it blank for keyless search. Test connection at the bottom-left checks that search works now (including keyless).

Features
- Settings toggle: off = official DeepSeek, on = Tavily — no uninstall to switch back
- No key uses Tavily keyless; a key uses
Authorization: Bearer
- Bottom-left connection test: one real Tavily search (
max_results: 1); keyless if no key, account quota if a key is saved (1 credit)
- Timeout, abort, official host lock, drop results without a url
- Key and toggle live on the credentials plane, not the settings file
- Tavily MCP bridge:
mcp__tavily__extract, mcp__tavily__crawl, mcp__tavily__map tools (requires a key, see below)
Behavior
Web search
| Off (default) | — | official DeepSeek |
| On | empty | Tavily keyless |
| On | set | Tavily account quota |
Provider id: tavily.
MCP tools
The bundled MCP row registers Tavily's extract / crawl / map tools under the tavily namespace. The hosted Tavily MCP server requires a key, so the row is enabled only when TAVILY_API_KEY is present in the launch environment:
export TAVILY_API_KEY=tvly-...
or in a project .env / $DSH_HOME/.env:
TAVILY_API_KEY=tvly-...
The key is interpolated into the endpoint URL at load time and never written to YAML. A key added to .env needs a dsh web restart.
Credentials
TAVILY_API_KEY | Optional (search). Present = account quota; absent = keyless |
TAVILY_SEARCH_ENABLED | Present = on; unset = off |
The search key and toggle are stored on the credentials plane ($DSH_HOME/.credentials.yaml). The MCP bridge reads TAVILY_API_KEY from the launch environment instead, because MCP rows resolve before credentials are materialized. Do not commit real keys.
Updates
- 0.1.0 First release as
@pymodel/dsh-tavily. Web search provider with settings toggle (off = official DeepSeek, on = Tavily) plus a Tavily MCP bridge (extract / crawl / map). English-only localisation.
